Bumped into obstacles?
Trying to do too much?
Working in crisis mode?
Those are big.
Sometimes we get so caught up in the overwhelm of the situation.
We might think or bemoan:
“This is too much.” “It’s not fair.” “There are so many decisions to be made. I don’t know where to start.” “Why do I have to deal with this?”
Such thoughts redirect vital brain power, time and resources away from making the critical decisions that are needed for the situation.
Gaining perspective helps you step away from the ‘noise’.
You might seek help from others, talk to friends or loved ones who can offer a different assessment of what is going on.
Perspective does not imply dissociating from the obstacle in resignation. It means viewing it from numerous vantage points while considering other options.
In addition to the support that you might need in such a situation, the viewpoints of others can help you see things more clearly.
